July 2025: Wind not doing very well

Lithium or even the much cheaper but heavier iron batteries, TW-h for TW-h, is far too expensive for all UK consumption storage, according to him. A drawback he did not go into detail, the hydrolisis requires pure water.

Attic AC drip tray problem

How about going outside where the drain line dumps water and use a wet vac? That will (hopefully) clear the drain. If it doesn't, leave the wet vac attached to the line and go up into an attic and shake the drain lines.

Teflon frying pan

yeah teflon is about to be called a safety hazard by the FDA, old pans may have to go to hazardous waste dumps.......... dont laugh its happened to other products before like benzene and asbestos. both USED to be common household products

ice maker off colored ice

Is this one that spits cubes out the door-- or dumps them in a tray in the freezer? If the latter, I'd suspect something got spilled into the tray. Are you on city water? Do they flush the lines without warning? Jim

diy plastering

For patching up, I've had excellent results with ready-mixed, and it's a much quicker and cleaner job - it's no fun when that heavy paper bag splits open and dumps a kilo of plaster dust all over the carpet :)

Compost Bin Recommendations Needed

I really like the round wire bins. Get some 4' high "rabbit fencing" which is much stronger than chicken wire. Use about 10 to 12 feet of the fencing and fasten together using pliers. Cheap and easy. I built 4 bins and they are are over 10 years old, still strong.
